1 cup uncooked white rice
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound lean pork roast or stew meat, trimmed of fat, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 cup Homemade Chicken Stock, or canned low-sodium chicken broth, skimmed of fat
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium onion, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch dice
2 ribs celery, cut into 1/2-inch dice
2 medium carrots, cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 zucchini, cut in half lengthwise, then cut into 1/2-inch half moons
1 yellow squash, cut in half lengthwise, then cut into 1/2-inch half moons
1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and cut into 1/2-by-2-inch strips

One 28-ounce can plum tomatoes
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
2 teaspoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Bring a saucepan of water to a boil. Stir in rice; reduce to a simmer. Cook until rice is tender, about 20 minutes. Drain, rinse with warm water, and set aside, covered.
